On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

Benefit Show June 17th
We are so grateful and excited about the benefit show planned for Lily. This is going to be an amazing night!!
A big thank you to all who are involved in making this happen. We love you!
How do you find all these helpers to plan fundraisers? We've been struggling with that aspect, and I'd love a few pointers, since, as you know, the medical expenses for children with cancer are enormous.
We are amazingly blessed with the most wonderful friends! Each fundraiser has been completely planned by friends that have volunteered their time and awesome talents.
